Join the Columbia Slough Watershed Council for Regatta, a unique paddle festival on Sunday, August 11th from 10am to 2pm. The event celebrates recreation opportunities on Portland’s hidden gem of local waterways, the Columbia Slough. Regatta is not actually a race; this family friendly event is a fun paddle for experienced paddlers and novice paddlers alike.

The event features complimentary 45-minute canoe and kayak rentals (all equipment provided) for registered attendees. Before and after paddling, participants can visit with local environmental and water-based organizations, enjoy hands-on activities and live music. This year, the event will also feature tours of the levee system that helps to protect the Portland International Airport and regional industry from flooding within an important area that encompasses over 2,000 acres of parks, opens spaces, wildlife habitat and recreational areas.

A donation of $10-$60/person or $30-125/family sliding scale is suggested; no one will be turned away due to lack of funds!
